You know, the world of open source is a cruel one. Sometimes I get ideas into my head thinking "ooh, this would be a cool idea" so I search for it and, serendipitously, I find something that would have been helpful to me before. So I look at it, and then find that no, it's only a pipe-dream, the name is out there but it is nothing but vaporware, because I can't even download even a single file surrounding this, and the original webpage hosting it no longer exists.

The worst thing, this little program would have solved a lot of problems I'm having with one aspect of my project. Namely, trying to get my program to understand that crazy moon language that agents speak.

programming, open source, rants
